Can Lixi look at me alone?

"Anyway, Xiang won't open the door."

"It doesn't matter whether you go or not."

Knowing he was sulking, Xiang wouldn't indulge Mu's clumsy attempts to change the subject like Jieyue did, instead directly bringing up the issues in his heart.

"Has Xiang been eating well lately?"

……

After waiting for more than ten minutes without receiving a response, Mu slumped onto the dining table.

The table was cold and hard, which made her want to go back to Yuzuki's arms.

But Xiang is here again.

"That's right, I won't open the door. So don't let Yuzuki come over again."

Is Xiang... angry about the end of the month?

"It's enough for Mutsuki and Yuzuki to take care of themselves. I don't need your concern."

Mu is angry this time.

The sulky little Mutou sat back in Jieyue's arms, while the pink-haired girl, who had been resting on Hailing's shoulder for a while, rubbed her wet eyes.

"Xiao Mu...?"

Why are you angry?

After hesitating for a moment, Mu raised his head, gently bit her ear, and told her his request.

She agreed to Mu's request.

"I see... Xiao Xiang is really worrying."

Volume 1 Crychic! : Chapter 129 True Tengu

Hailing, who wanted to spend more time with Yuzuki, received a call from her employer. Under Mu's somewhat unfriendly gaze, she kissed Yuzuki and left.

If one person is not helping...

Yuzuki frowned. It was only noon... but she hadn't made a bento box with several dishes in a long time.

In short, the ingredients at her home were insufficient to meet her need for a deluxe bento box for Xiao Xiang.

Therefore, we still need to buy some fresh ingredients now.

If it weren't for Xiao Mu, she wouldn't have made lunchboxes for Xiao Xiang.

Thinking of this, Yuzuki closed the refrigerator and frowned slightly in displeasure.

"Xiao Mu, stay home for now. That little girl might be coming over later."

Little sister... are you talking about that white-haired girl?

Mu nodded.

"Is Yuzuki going to pick out ingredients?"

She was patted on the head.

"Xiao Mu guessed right! Well then, Xiao Mu, could you please help me tidy up the kitchen?"

The kitchen was already very clean and tidy, so there was no need for any tidying up. Yuzuki just wanted Mutsuki not to feel like she hadn't done anything and was just watching her companions do everything by herself.

Ah, speaking of which...

The girl, wearing school shoes, glanced somewhat uncomfortably at the glass window of the shop next to her, which was used to display merchandise.

That guy... is he gone?

She bent down and leaned closer to the glass window, imitating how others looked at the merchandise, and looked at her own reflection in it.

After a while, still receiving no response, Yuzuki sighed in disappointment and got up to continue walking.

She had a feeling.

The angel didn't leave; he stayed nearby. Therefore, she felt neither sadness nor pain.

She was just curious why the angels wouldn't talk to her anymore.

Her right hand unconsciously reached for her phone; Yuzuki had also learned to use this method to make herself feel like she was being accompanied by someone.

Even if she is halfway around the world away from others, with a cell phone, it's as if there's only a thin screen between them.

Xiao Mu needs to look after the house.

Xiao Xiang…

You don't want to eat properly, do you? You want me to make you a bento box? And then you want to bully Xiaomu?

Yuzuki smiled and began typing on the screen.

"Xiao Xiang? Why haven't you been eating properly lately?"

While waiting for Xiao Xiang's reply, let me also see if there's anyone who can come and keep me company.

Ok…

There's one more person.

"Do you have time now? I'd like you to stay with me for a while..."

Then send me your location... Done!

Yuzuki happily exited the chat interface and then looked at Xiangzi's reply.

The chat box popping up with messages gave Yuzuki a really fun idea.

Since Xiao Xiang bullies Xiao Mu, why can't she bully Xiao Xiang in return?

He put his phone back in his pocket, neither looking at it nor replying.

Xiao Xiang must be so anxious from sending messages all this time. He looks so pitiful crying and making a fuss because he's not getting a reply.

She winked playfully at the air and then continued walking towards the fresh food market.

"Jieyue, I don't need your harmonious concern. I can take care of my own life, and I hope you can take care of your mental health as well."

"Please don't always try to show concern for me. My decision is to fight against the family on my own. So I will not accept your help."

"Please take good care of yourself and be careful not to catch a cold. Your health has never been very good since you were a child... Also..."

"I'll figure something out. About everything that happened between us."

Xiangzi, who was unusually not the riddle solver, was ignored. Looking at the screen full of unread messages, she gradually put down her phone.

"Is Yuzuki angry?"

She sighed and lay back on the mattress.

Xiangzi's once healthy muscle definition has become abnormally loose. He can tell with his hair tie that he is now close to malnutrition.

She could ignore Mu's worries. After all, Mu wouldn't do anything she didn't want Mu to do.

But the month of conclusion is different.

She could ignore it before, but now…

She seemed to see a tiny pink dumpling again, asking her why... you abandoned her.

Can't do it.

She couldn't ignore Yuzuki anymore.

Every time this thought flashes through my mind, I feel a faint, stabbing pain in my heart.

"call…"

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Xiangzi patted his head to clear his head.

I don't know if this will persuade Yuzuki not to come tonight. What should I do if it doesn't work...?

She still has to go to work in the evening to ensure her perfect attendance record.

Anyway, Jieyue hasn't come for several days, so there's no need for her to stay here and wait for Jieyue today, right?

Also deep in thought about work matters, Mikasa Hatsuka put on a baseball cap to cover her face and avoid being recognized by others as she followed Yuzuki.

The girl, who was just out for a walk, did not expect to have such an unexpected gain. Chu Hua, who had originally intended to investigate her, kept a distance from her and followed behind her at a leisurely pace.

Xiao Xiang's former band member, after blowing up the band for his own selfish desires, has been troubling Xiao Xiang ever since, taking advantage of Xiao Xiang's kindness by claiming to have a mental illness.

We need to keep her away from Xiao Xiang.

Her purple eyes were fixed on Yuzuki's slender figure. Even Hatsuka, who had seen countless beautiful girls as an idol, had to admit that Yuzuki did have some charm.

She has a kind of endearing fragility and vulnerability, which makes her the kind of person who will be popular.

Unaware that she was being followed, Jieyuefu

The money was used to buy some fresh vegetables. These were paired with the imported beef that was stored at home…

Well, but it's not good to use only beef.

For health reasons, we also need some vegetable salad... Xiao Mu said that Xiao Xiang hasn't been eating properly for a long time, so let's buy some tofu too.

Next, let's check out the seafood section. Hopefully, they'll have some protein-rich foods like sea cucumber…

Yuzuki left the seafood market carrying several bags. With her hands full, it was difficult for the girl to even glance at her phone.

"Yuzue? What a coincidence. Do you need any help?"

Pretending to bump into her by chance, Chu Hua smoothly took the bag from her hand and smiled as she became her helper.

Unexpectedly encountering her here, Yuzuki paused for a moment before expressing her gratitude. The two walked a short distance, one after the other…

"Yuzuki is a good cook, isn't she? But if we can't finish all this food, it'll spoil quickly."

Blinking her deep blue eyes, Yuzuki put her phone back in her pocket.

Xiao Xiang stopped messaging her; she felt things were getting a bit awkward. But she still politely answered Chu Hua's question.

"Yes, it's for Xiao Xiang."

Chu Hua was stunned for a moment, having pried the information out of her almost effortlessly.

"Will Xiao Xiang be having dinner at Jieyue's house tonight?"

Because of her island origins, Chu Hua was familiar with many perishable ingredients. After discovering that Yuzuki's bag contained quite a few, she deduced that Yuzuki would likely be dealing with them that day.

But with so many ingredients, there must be several people...

Jieyue even specifically mentioned Xiaoxiang…

Will Xiao Xiang go too?
